Zink voted for Trump but said he doesn’t agree with everything the president does. Zink clarifies he calls himself a “conservative” over calling himself a “Republican.” He doesn’t like Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. “I prefer common sense in the middle,” he said.

Well, it is actually. Literally everyone told you this would happen. The problem isn't that you "didn't vote for this," the problem is that you voted for something that never existed. Ask any Trump supporter what they voted for and 8 out of 10 times they have made up their own reason that specifically fits their viewpoint and even contradicts what Trump himself said he would do in most circumstances. In their anger towards "liberals" and "woke" they basically created their own idea of what Trump was based on nothing but vibes and then voted for that idea as if it was what he actually stood for. It's a religion and based on faith, not a political party. Like when "Christians" make shit up from the bible to fit their arguments even when it doesn't make any sense.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
